6,500k or 10,000k

[HunterBryan]

I have a 29 gallon tank and was wonder what bulb would be better. Right now I have 1 blue actinic 420 and 1 6,500k. Would keeping the 6,500k or getting a 10,000k be better for coral growth and health??

I have the following corals:
Hydnopora
Green and red mushrooms
Green and red zoas
Candy canes
Kenya trees
Hammer coral
GSP
War coral
Acan lord
Ridactus mushrooms
Rock anemone
Rose Bulb Anemone

10k for aestetics 6500k grows coral fast but is ugly as sin. With only 2 bulbs go with the 10k.

What type of light btw? If t5 I'd go with 1 blue plus and 1 ab special.

Try ATI BLUE PLUS & CORAL PLUS or a bluer look.

GE 6500/Aquablue Special & blue plus for a white look.

I have t5s and there the zoo med light bulbs from petco! I know there not the best but they were my first bulbs and it's getting close to a year and I need to change. Will 10,000k help coral growth just as much as 6,500k?

Switching to good bulbs will help you.

Yes 6500-10000k are both good growth bulbs.
I really recommend you buy ATI, KZ or GIESSEMAN bulbs.

I'd definitely run 2 coral plus or one coral plus and one blue plus for bulbs
